After that, Dr. Cathew and the nurse noticed that the pilot, Ron, was gradually starting to regain his senses, and although he still often couldn't remember things, and his English sometimes seemed strange (and some new words could pop up if he wasn't careful), the doctor thought it was completely understandable - who let his head touch it when he landed?

As a fan of World War II flight games, Gao Tianxiang is quite familiar with the history of the Pacific War. He knew that the Japanese attack on the Philippines had been very successful in history, and that by relying on undeclared raids, Japan had destroyed most of the American air force in the Philippines. Then the American army was defeated and retreated, the last part of the American army (including MacArthur) retreated to Australia, and some did not have time to retreat and were forced to surrender to the Japanese, and then the tragic path of Bataan's death.

However, Gao Tianxiang did not have to worry about Bataan's death, let alone the Japanese concentration camps after that. He was a pilot, and he was definitely among the retreats, of course, provided that he did not die before the retreat. To say that Ron's body is really a first-class stick, plus the injury is actually not serious, just a 7.7 bullet slanted into the abdomen, excessive blood loss, a week later, it is almost fine. He's comfortable in the hospital, even though he's going back to the airport tomorrow. The only problem was that there were so many wounded soldiers in the hospital that there were more and more of them, and Lucia, the green-eyed nurse, was so busy that the romance between the wounded soldier and the beautiful female nurse never had time to play out. It's not just that there is no time for the first | book to read the novel [y] [b] [d] [u], not even for rehearsals. This afternoon, the female nurse took the initiative to find Gao Tianxiang, which made him very proud. But who knew that she actually wanted him to do a favor (he was almost fine anyway) - to hold down a guy, Cassius was operating on him, but there was no anesthetic.

After helping with this, it was almost evening, and Lucia personally changed the dressing for Gao Tianxiang, who was covered in sweat. Gao Tianxiang took off his shirt and sat on a high stool, while she squatted down and gently smeared a cotton swab dipped in iodine on his wound. The stinging pain of iodine on the wound made Gao Tianxiang grin for a while.

"Does it hurt, but it can't be helped, you have to endure it, this is tropical, and if you get infected, you will be in trouble." Lucia didn't even raise her head, and whispered as she continued to rub him iodine.

"No...... It doesn't hurt...... "How can the old man be afraid of pain, "Itchy, you make it too itchy, I'm afraid of itchy......"

Lucia still didn't look up, she only lowered her head to wrap gauze around his wound, her tender fingers touching him from time to time, making his heart really itch. He looked down and saw a seductive halo of golden-red light from Lucia's long flaxen hair under the white nurse's hat in the setting sun. Gao Tianxiang stretched out his hand, wanting to caress the mysterious light.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Lucia stood up, her little face tensed, and she looked down at Gao Tianxiang condescendingly, her eyes seemed to be full of anger.

"I ...... I didn't do anything," the hooliganism was caught, Gao Tianxiang was still very embarrassed, "I see that your hat is crooked, I want to ......"

"Really?" Lucia put her hand on her hat, "It seems to be a little crooked than before." She stared sternly into Gao Tianxiang's eyes, until Gao Tianxiang felt as if he had shrunk in half, and then she suddenly showed a smile as bright as the sun that reappeared after the rainstorm. Even though you made it more crooked, I still have to thank you. ”

After saying that, she squatted down again and continued to bandage him.

At this time, Dr. Casthew's voice came from outside the window, "Lucia, have you seen my hemostats?" ”

"Dr. Cassius came for me, I'm done, I need to go." Lucia stood up and walked outside. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned back again, with a mysterious smile that seemed to be both smug and shy.

"You made my hat crooked, why didn't you straighten it for me just now?"

After saying that, she lowered her head slightly, turned around and ran out like a proud little deer, leaving the stunned Gao Tianxiang in the ward. Gao Tianxiang didn't sleep well this night.

Early the next morning, Captain Tony drove to pick up Gao Tianxiang. When he got into the car, Gao Tianxiang saw Lucia drying bandages, he wanted to say to her if we will see each other again, but he didn't say anything, just silently watched her busy, watched the rising sun put a brilliant gold trim on her white nurse's uniform and her long flaxen hair fluttering in the morning breeze, and then got into the car without saying a word. As the car started, he saw her turn her head, smiled at him, and waved.

"Ron, are your injuries all healed?" Captain Tony asked as he drove.

"It's almost fine, but it's going to be a week before the stitches are removed, but I have to make room for the new wounded."

"You may not be able to remove the stitches here, we may be retreating soon."

This did not surprise Gao Tianxiang, he still did not speak, and his mind was still full of the little hand waving in the morning breeze and the morning sun.

"Will they retreat to Australia too?"

"They're going to Australia, too." The captain suddenly stepped on the brakes, and Gao Tianxiang's head almost hit the windshield. "Who told you we were going to Australia?"

"Guess."

"Guess?"

"Where else can we go but Australia? Could it be California? ”

"Also, although there is no official notice, everyone knows about it." "But Ron, there's one more thing I want to tell you," the captain seemed a little hesitant, "you know we don't have many pilots left, you, you might have to go to the skies." ”

Now the ships of the Navy are busy loading more people on board and bringing them to Australia. The navy now has no escort force, but the Japanese seem to be too busy occupying more islands, and do not seem to be very concerned about sending warships to cut off their retreat, but only send some planes to attack from time to time. The evacuation could go on, but the pilots in charge of air defense were dying. In these few days, the Zero War has become a real nightmare. There are still six P40 aircraft left in the base, but there are only four pilots left alive. Fortunately, the airfield itself was still outside the combat radius of the Japanese aircraft, so it did not suffer a direct hit.

"Four days ago, Ronnie, Bird, and Kenyon didn't come back, and yesterday Keynes, Barth, and Gregor didn't come back either, and with the previous losses, now our fighter pilots are only Spike and me - I can fly with my left hand, plus you, well, and Carreras."

"Carreras?" Gao Tianxiang still had some impressions of this person from Ron's remaining memories, "Didn't he just leave flight school?" Let him go to heaven, it's too early. ”

"yes, but we don't have any."

"These days I've thought of a way to deal with Zero."

"Tell me about it?"

Gao Tianxiang's method is not surprising, it is the so-called "Thatch scissors", which was originally a tactic invented by John Smiththach, a major of the United States Navy Airlines, during the Battle of Midway. In the world of virtual air combat, this set of tactics can be said to be well known. Since the relatively clumsy F4F relies on this tactic, it can achieve an exchange ratio comparable to that of Zero. Then P40 can also use this trick to deal with Zero......

At half past four in the morning, the airport was still full of stars, which indicated that the next day would be another good day. In peacetime, the pilots and seafarers would have been very satisfied, but now it only means that they will be attacked by Japanese planes as soon as the day breaks. The Japanese will never be idle in such ideal weather.

Gao Tianxiang was already sitting in the cockpit of the P40, and half an hour later, just before the sun came out, a group of transport ships would leave the ports of the Philippines and send some people to Australia. But the Navy guys (or the Army guys) might not be able to leave on time for one reason or another, and when the sun rose, they would be uncovered from the Japanese planes on the sea. In order to hold up an umbrella for them to shield them from the rain of bullets, Gao Tianxiang and they must take off now.

Four P40s slowly climbed in the dark night sky, and it was dark outside the cockpit, and there was no sound except for the dull roar of the engines. When the plane climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters, the first rays of light entered Gao Tianxiang's cockpit, and he turned his head to look around, and saw that the vast sea was still sleeping in darkness, but the other three fighters were all dyed red by the sun. Thinking about it, in the eyes of those below, these four P40s of their own must be like four bright morning stars.

At this time, the voice of the old lieutenant colonel came from the earphones: "Boys, the bad boys of John's family are late for school today. Again, they were late again. "John's Bad Boys" refers to the convoy. This news means that the fleet will not be able to drive the combat range of the Japanese aircraft before dawn, and it also means that Gao Tianxiang and they may have to fight a battle with the Japanese with a huge disparity in strength and weakness.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the sea gradually appeared in front of Gao Tianxiang's eyes, and looking down, a thin layer of white mist floated on the blue sea, and the sea was very calm, except for a few emerald green islands.

"It's not a good thing, they haven't made it here yet, they're definitely going to be caught by the Japanese." According to Ron's memories, his last air battle took place here - it was already within range of Japanese aircraft.

Carreras, who was flying a little to the left, suddenly shook his wings, what did he find? This half-grown child's technique is still very average (even Ron, who seems to Gao Tianxiang to have a stinky technique), sees it this way), but his eyes are surprisingly good. Looking in the direction he had indicated, the fleet finally appeared in the middle of the sea and sky.

Captain Tony flew straight towards the fleet with Spike, while Gao Tianxiang and Carreras turned to the east and began to climb.

"Tony, watch your one o'clock direction!" Two minutes later, Carreras broke the radio silence first. According to a prior agreement, radio should be used only when enemy aircraft are detected.

Gao Tianxiang saw that there were a total of 8 enemy planes attacking, divided into two fleets, the higher ones were smaller, and it was obviously a zero battle, and the other group should be a land attack.

Captain Tony's crew was the first to meet him, and the four Zeros immediately abandoned their bombers and pounced on Tony's P40. The P40 fleet made a turn, as if trying to avoid the Zero.

"The United States and Britain are really cowardly. I didn't dare to compete with the Yamato warriors at all, and I wanted to run as soon as I met! In the cockpit of Zero Battle, Tomohito Yamai thought proudly. For a few days, those clumsy P40, P39, and F2 were constantly beaten to the ground by the brave Yamato warriors with invincible zero battles. Even he has already shot down four American planes, and he is just one short of being called an ace. It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer planes for the beautiful ghosts, and I don't know if they have been wiped out or beaten so hard that they don't dare to come out. He didn't wait for one in the past few days. Now, the opportunity to become an ace has come, but unfortunately there are too few enemy planes, only two, he must seize this opportunity, you must know that Fujita Yongya is only one behind, he must be in front of him.

The four Zeros clung to the P40 and chased straight over.

"It's now! Attack with me! Gao Tianxiang first rolled 180 degrees, and then pulled the lever, and the plane swooped straight towards a group of land attack planes from the direction of the sun.

The Type Ichi Land Attack is a typical Japanese aircraft with greater speed, range, and bomb load than its American counterpart, except that almost all of this is achieved at the expense of defense. As soon as it is hit, it will almost certainly burn into a fireball. There are few bombers in the game that are more likely to catch fire and burn. (Of course, there are a few more bizarre ones in Germany, you don't have to fight, you will be burned into a fireball for no reason if you fly yourself)

In a one-of-a-kind land attack, the captain Takeo Fukuzono was giving an order: "Don't be busy enjoying the air battle, it's one-sided, it's boring!" Prepare to enter the offensive course, prepare for a torpedo attack! ”

The huge fuselage of the one-type land attack is getting bigger and bigger in the scope, it's time! Four tongues of fire erupted from the wings of the high sky soaring P40. Gao Tianxiang gently pulled the nose of the plane and bathed this one-of-a-kind land attack from head to toe with dense .50 bullets. When Gao Tianxiang pulled up the fighter plane and climbed up, his headphones were full of Carreras's wild screams: "Ron, you hit, it's on fire, it's over!" ”

"Follow me, let's attack again!"

P40 whistled down again.

The remaining three one-type land attackers threw torpedoes indiscriminately and turned to dodge.

"What a massacre!" After igniting another one-type land attack, Gao Tianxiang, who had been shot down 1,600 times, shot down enemy planes 2,151 times, attacked friendly planes 74 times, and shamelessly shot parachutes 102 times, and had come back from the dead after a thousand deaths, couldn't help but sigh like this.

Now the four Zero Battles that have just woken up from a dream turned around and rushed back, but unfortunately the beautiful ghosts are too cunning, just now the two P40 took the Zero Battles all the way to a shallow dive and escaped, and now the Zero Battles are not only far away from the battlefield, but the height has also dropped to about 500 meters, and now it is not easy to rush back.

By the time Zero War came back, there was only one of the four one-type land attacks left, and even that one was seriously damaged. Tomohito Yamai gestured (the early Zeros had no radios) for two Zeros to escort it back, and then continued to chase after the distant Gao Tianxiang crew with his wingman. Today's losses have lost the face of the Imperial Japanese Army, and I am afraid that I will only have to apologize for going back, and I must shoot down these two P40s, even if my plane will not be able to return because of the fuel exhaustion.

The speed of Zero-War is faster than that of the P40, and it is gradually getting closer and closer.

"It's really rare, I actually have the opportunity to fight with Zero." Gao Tianxiang thought, "In the game, Zero Battle is a rare type. As soon as someone gets on it, he immediately becomes the favorite of all enemies. ”

"Left and right separated." Gao Tianxiang calmly gave Carreras an order. The two planes immediately parted to both sides.

Tomohito Yamai made a gesture and continued to bite Gao Tianxiang himself, allowing his wingman Mitsuo Kondo to follow the other enemy plane.

"He's 500 meters away from you! 450 meters! On the radio, Gao Tianxiang and Carreras constantly reported the location of the enemy planes following each other. In air combat, the strength of the team is the most powerful guarantee for victory! A group of rookies who know how to cooperate can easily take out the trump card without team support.

"Turn to me!" With a sharp roll, coupled with a soft lever, the two P40s began to turn from sub to reel, and the two Zeros followed closely behind without knowing whether they were alive or dead.

"Want to get rid of me by turning a corner? Dream! Just get a little closer, and I'll have one shot down too! Mitsuo Kondo stared at Carreras in front of him, his eyes wide and full of bloodlust. Just then, he saw another P40 coming straight from the opposite direction, and the four tongues of fire under the wings were flashing one after another......

"Shooting at a wide angle, that's my forte." Glancing at the Zero Battle, which was turning into an orange fireball, Gao Tianxiang felt as if he was back in the world of the game.

"Damn! Cunning Yankee! Blood rushed to Tomohito Yamai's head, and the Yankee played tricks on him again, knocking out his wingman right under his nose and causing him to fall from the pinnacle of arrogance. This huge gap made him almost lose his mind, "I must kill this beautiful ghost!" ”

Tomohito Yamai had already put that P40 into the halo, and he felt that if he got 50 meters closer, he would definitely be able to shoot down his opponent. And a distance of 50 meters, in an air battle, is a moment. At that moment, the P40 made a 90-degree roll to the right, followed by a sharp turn.

If it is nothing to turn sharply, in World War II, whether it is stable or instantaneous, except for the Japanese own Ki43, there is no other aircraft that can compare with the Zero War. The extremely low wing load gives the Zero excellent low-speed hovering performance, but it also makes the Zero's roll sluggish. Coupled with the overly light fuselage, it was difficult for it to overcome the torque of the propeller, and the speed at which the Zero Combat rolled to the right was even slower and terrifying. Rolling, on the other hand, is the beginning of almost all maneuvers except somersaults.

This rush Gao Tianxiang temporarily escaped from under the guns of Zero, but Yamai Tomohito believed that in less than 3 seconds, he would be able to bite his opponent again and beat him to pieces with a string of 20mm shells. What's more, his opponent made a mistake - he didn't immediately turn into a dive. Compared to the lightweight Zero, American aircraft are mostly sturdy and bulky, with heavy weight allowing them to accelerate faster in dives, and sturdy structures allowing them to withstand more wind pressure and reach greater speeds. The Zero-21 can dive to a maximum speed of about 580 kilometers at most, at which point it is already in danger of disintegration, and can hardly make any moves, while the P40 can easily dive to a speed of more than 700 kilometers and rely on this speed to quickly get out of danger.

It's not that Gao Tianxiang doesn't know this, it's just that he also knows that Carreras has just completed a jump and is about to dive towards the enemy plane, what he has to do is to give hope to the Japanese, so that the damn little Japan can focus all its attention on himself and create conditions for Carreras's attack.

"Plop pounce", this is the sound of a 7.7mm caliber machine gun bullet on the P40 on the Zero Battle, if this is in the game, this sound will make Gao Tianxiang, who has experienced thousands of deaths, feel safe. There were two 20mm guns and two 7.7mm machine guns in the Zero, the latter of which was almost negligible in air combat. The Japanese installed it because there were too few shells for 20 guns (60 rounds each), and the Japanese wanted to use 7.7 tracer shells to help target 20 guns. It's a pity that the Japanese 20 gun has a slow muzzle velocity and a curved trajectory, which is significantly different from the 7.7 with a straight trajectory. In an air battle, if a 7.7 bullet hits your plane, it almost means that a 20mm shell fired at the same time will definitely miss you. And if 7.7 flies over your head, you need to be careful.

But this is not a game after all, although he knows that 7.7 is a waste, but he really let him play, Gao Tianxiang still felt that his scalp was numb for a while, his mouth was also bitter for a while, and the hand holding the joystick was also oozing sweat. He had to put in a great deal of effort to restrain himself from doing a left roll + lever dive. It only takes a few seconds, just a few more seconds, and Carreras's fighters will come to his aid, and then this little Japan will be the meat on the board, and you can cut it however you want. Before that, he had to give hope to the Japanese man behind him that he could shoot him down, so that Carreras' rookie could win a shot with precision.

"Damn, it's almost, I'm going to hit you this time!" With a few 20mm shells missing, two bloodshot eyes almost burst out of Yamai's eye sockets, and he could now see almost nothing except the dangling P40 in front of him.

"It's now!" Tomohito Yamai and Carreras opened fire almost simultaneously. Just as a few 20-mm shells were firing towards Gao Tianxiang, a whip made of .50 machine gun shells was whipped fiercely on the zero battle in Yamajing.

"Novices are not qualified to save bullets." This is Gao Tianxiang's reminder to Carreras before departure. Now, Carreras faithfully followed the advice and held down the launch button. As the four machine guns continued to strafe, countless .50 bullets burrowed into the thin skin of the Zero. First, a large pile of debris kept peeling off from Zero, and then Yamai Tomohito saw a stream of orange-red flames erupt from those countless bullet holes, and in a blink of an eye, Zerowar had turned into a large fireball. But Carreras kept firing, and with a click, Zero's fragile left flank snapped by the roots, and the fireball swirled into the endless sea.

"Well done! Carreras! Stop fighting, save bullets! He's finished. Let's go home! Gao Tianxiang, who had just narrowly escaped the last two 20mm shells, gave orders to Carreras on the radio.

"It's fun! Go to hell! Go meet Satan! Little Japanese ...... on Dog Day Hey Ron, does Little Japan use chrysanthemums as a symbol? Now Satan must be overjoyed, he can blow up that bastard's chrysanthemum! Carreras, who is usually gentle and said to have been born in an old Spanish aristocratic family, was so excited that he was full of foul language.

"Alright, don't be happy, go home! Remember, look back at the 6 o'clock direction every ten seconds! ”

"Yes, Ensign Carreras is at your disposal."

……

"It's back, and it's all back, it's all back!" The old lieutenant colonel stood on the side of the runway, holding his beloved teapot in his hand, and his hands trembled with excitement, so much so that the orderly was worried that he would drop his beloved teapot. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen any of the children come back from the battle. It was a nightmare: the children flew out, and soon after, their excited or panicked cries could be heard on the radio, and then many of those voices fell silent. No matter how much you call them, the only thing that answers you is the noise of electricity. In the end, if you're lucky, you'll have a few kids coming back in a plane full of bullet holes. And when the children got off the plane, their faces were always as pale as if they had just crawled out of a grave. And after that, as soon as these children fall asleep, they will let out a dream of fear: "Zero Battle! Oh my God, he's at six o'clock in my life! ”

But this time it was different, the plane was still taxiing, and the excited lads couldn't help but get up from their seats and wave and cheer to the ground crews on both sides of the runway who came to welcome them in triumph. The morning sun shone on their faces, reflecting a brilliant light that the old lieutenant colonel had never seen before. The old lieutenant colonel knew that it was hope shining in their faces. New tactics, new victories bring hope back! He knew that the most difficult time was over, because his lads had already walked through the valley of despair, and that there might be more and harder battles ahead, and there would be bloodshed, and there would be sacrifices, but, but after all, hope shone ahead.
